DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION |
One minute averages of the electric and magnetic wave spectra
obtained by the Galileo PWS instrument at Jupiter. The data set
includes the electric and magnetic field spectral densities in
units of V**2/m**2/Hz and nT**2/Hz respectively.

DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
This data set includes 1-minute averages of the electric and
magnetic wave spectra obtained during the period that the Galileo
plasma wave receiver was operated during the Jupiter orbital
mission (prime, GEM and GMM). The parameter provided for the
electric field spectrum is the electric field spectral density
in units of V**2/m**2/Hz. The magnetic field spectrum is
provided in units of magnetic field spectral density, nT**2/Hz.
The spectral information is averaged and binned into 49
logarithmically-spaced channels from about 6 Hz to 5.6 MHz for the
electric measurements and 34 channels from about 6 Hz to 75 kHz for
the magnetic. Note that these 'channels' do not generally
correspond to the 158 specific channels described in the instrument
description document. The reduction in spectral resolution for this
data set was performed in order to make the set more conducive to
use as a browse data set. The sources of this browse data set are
the High Frequency Receiver, Sweep Frequency Receiver, and Spectrum
Analyzer which make up the Low Rate Science portion of the PWS.
This data set is highly discontinuous in time. Because of the severe
limitations in the downlink capability of the Galileo spacecraft,
data were acquired for only selected portions of each orbit. During
the prime mission (first 12 orbits), continuous data were acquired
inside of 50 Rj for all orbits, with a few select orbits having
complete or nearly complete coverage in the Real-Time Science (RTS)
telemetry mode. During most of the Galileo Europa Mission (GEM) and
Galileo Millennium Mission (GMM) coverage was more limited, typically
only a few days around perijove, except for the Cassini encounter
period (orbits 28 and 29) and orbits where recorded data were lost
due to spacecraft safings or other mishaps. Table 1 below provides
a listing of the start and stop times of the data for each orbit.
Some orbits (5 and 13) have no coverage due to solar conjunctions.
Table 2 below provides basic information about the orbits and
orbital geometry. After the insertion orbit, which dipped as low as
five degrees south, the Galileo remained within a degree of the
jovian equator.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE |
This data set includes all available Low Rate Science spectrum
analyzer data within the interval of time covered. The data included
in this set are the real time data stream which have been edited and
compressed using an integer cosine transform. Amplitude inaccuracy
of the order of 5 dB is expected due to the lossy nature of the
compression algorithm. The magnetic spectra contain narrowband
interference lines at 2.4 kHz and harmonics. Occasionally, magnetic
noise between about 200 Hz and 2 kHz due to UVS grating motor
activity can be observed. Periodic bursts of noise below about 100
Hz are due to the stepper motor on the Energetic Particle Detector.
Missing data are indicated by zero.
At about 1712 SCET on 14 September (day 257) 1997 the low-frequency
search coil, or some portion of the PWS electronics associated with
the signals acquired by this sensor suffered a failure which
increased the noise level and decreased the sensitivity for magnetic
signals below 2.4 kHz. Some natural signals can be observed in this
frequency range after the failure, but no attempt has been made as
of this date to recalibrate the output of this sensor. After some
on-board testing of the affected systems it was decided to only use
the search coils inside of about 15 RJ for the duration of the
mission. Inside this distance, it is most likely that intense
electromagnetic signatures might still be detected in the anomalous
sensor state. Outside of about 15 RJ, the instrument will be
commanded into an electric field-only mode.
In the electric field-only mode, every 18.67-second sweep of the
spectrum analyzer and medium frequency receiver is from the electric
dipole antenna, effectively improving the temporal resolution of the
electric field measurements below 100 kHz by a factor of two. The
high frequency receiver above 100 kHz also sweeps once per 18.67
seconds, only on the electric antenna.
